PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
Chimney
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems
into the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to
the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in BS
5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide
sufficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions
of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross
section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required,
seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable
for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before
installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept
one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building
Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS EN 1856 can be
used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building
Regulations.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for
using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter
of 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireboxes or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due
account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or
alternatively a draught stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the
flue entirely but should in its closed position leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least
20 % of the total cross sectional area of the flue or fluepipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or access doors, must be provided for sweeping the chimney
and connecting fluepipe, also to permit visual checks on the integrity of the flue when the appliance is serviced.

English
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit fumes into the room.
Hearth
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
English
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construction that is in
accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls
adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given
in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at
least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm
in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room
in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is
double-glazed or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance.
It may be necessary to increase the air vent size in property with low air permeability [≤ 5.0 m3/(h.m2)]
The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved
Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose.
Connection to chimney
All the stoves have a rear and/or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a masonry
chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with the instructions for
the appliance given in the instruction booklet.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out,
when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up
the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove
are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels
likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
Make provision for securing a suitable guard where applicable.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
A carbon monoxide alarm complying with BS EN 50291 must be fitted in the same room as the appliance
in accordance with the current Building Regulations Part J. It should be positioned on the ceiling at least
300mm from any wall or, if it is located on a wall, as high up as possible (above any doors and windows)
but not within 150mm of the ceiling. The alarm should also be between 1m and 3m horizontally from the
appliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action
should be taken: (a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks
described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been
swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover
the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard
must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in
accordance with BS 8423:2002.
If the fire is left unattended a spark guard to BS3248, specification for spark guards for use with solid fuel
appliances should be used.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year
for wood and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting
up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove
and the open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting
the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.

READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE STOVE
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
English
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney
fire does occur turn the air control setting to the minimum, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This
should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting
until the fire in the stove has gone out. The chimney and flueways should then be cleaned. If the chimney
fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be
sought if necessary
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent
into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any
circumstances be shut off or sealed.
HETAS Ltd Approval
Please note that HETAS Approval only covers the use of wood on the stove and approval does
not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with other fuels, nor does it cover
instructions for the use of other fuels.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - WOOD
The instructions detailed in the section / in the instruction booklet should be followed.
Door operation
Describe door operation and use of the tool to open and close the doors, if appropriate.
Lighting of fire
Place some firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel.

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The appliance should be installed in a location which allows safe and convenient use as well as easy maintenance. If the product being
installed requires an electrical socket, the room must also be provided with an earthed power supply in accordance with current regulations.
The room where the appliance is to be installed must comply with the following requirements:
English
they must not be used as a garage, store for combustible material or for activities with a risk of fire.
They must not be in a vacuum in relation to the outside environment due to the effect of contrary draught caused by the presence
in the room where the firebox is installed of another appliance or an extractor device.
Do not use two stoves, a firebox and a stove, a stove and a wood-fired cooking range, etc. in the same environment, since the
draught of one could affect the draught of the other.
• Recirculation type cooker hoods without an extractor fan may only be used in kitchens.
• Gas appliances of type C are allowed (refer to current legislation and regulations in the place of installation)
Gas appliances of type B are not allowed (refer to current legislation and regulations in the place of installation)
The stove or firebox must not be fitted where there are collective type ventilation ducts with or without extractor fan, other devices
or other appliances such as: forced ventilation systems or other heating systems using ventilation to change the air. Such systems
could cause a vacuum in the environment of installation even if installed in adjoining or communicating rooms.
The stove or firebox must not be used: in stairwells except in buildings with no more than two apartments; in corridors for common
use; in bedrooms; in bathrooms or shower-rooms.

DT2010171-00
CAPACITY LOAD OF THE FLOOR
Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor by adding together: the weight of the protections (lining walls), insulating materials, surround
(given in the surround instruction booklet) and the stove (given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”).
If the floor has an unsuitable load-bearing capacity, take adequate countermeasures.
1.7
DT2010130-01
HEATING CAPACITY
Check the heating capacity of the appliance by comparing the rated power given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA” with the power required
by the environment to be heated.
The energy requirement may be calculated approximately by multiplying the square metres of area by the height of the ceiling; the result is
then multiplied by a coefficient, which depends on the degree of insulation of the building, that is, on internal and external factors of the
dwelling:
a) Internal factors: type of window and door frames, thickness of the insulation and walls, type of building materials, presence of stairwells,
walls with extensive glazing, high ceilings, position of the rooms to be heated in relation to other adjacent heated or unheated rooms, …
b) External factors: geographical position, average outdoor temperature, exposure, wind speed, latitude, altitude, …
Example of approximate calculation of the energy requirement to heat a fixed volume to 18/20° C:
The coefficient that is normally used is determined according to the real conditions as they occur case by case.
- From 0.04 to 0.05 kW per cubic metre in a well insulated environment
- From 0.05 to 0.06 kW per cubic metre in a poorly insulated environment
3 rooms measuring 20m2 X (H ceiling) 2.7m = 162 m3 (volume)
In an environment with a good degree of insulation, an average value (coefficient) of 0.045 kW may be taken
162 (volume) X 0.045 (kW) = 7.3 kW necessary (6300 kcal/h)
Conversion 1kW = 860 kcal/h
Consult a heating technician or engineer for a correct check and calculation of the requirement of the environments to be heated
(see “REFERENCE STANDARDS”).
Rated power being equal, products with the Multi-fire system can evenly distribute heat throughout the rooms to be heated.

METHOD OF HEAT DIFFUSION
Diffusion with the Multifuoco System®
An original Piazzetta system designed to distribute heat evenly
throughout the environment, even for several rooms on different
floors.
Fig. 14
CEILING
English
The Multifuoco System® is very simple to install. It is necessary to
install the ventilation kit, following the instructions given with the
same, before positioning the stove and installing the surround.
After having installed the ventilation kit, it is necessary to connect
the warm air outlets to the fan using 75mm diameter hoses.
The warm air outflow may be sent in a maximum of four directions
using two “Y-elements”. It is advisable to install closable warm air
outlets and only one of these may be installed at a distance of less
than six metres from the stove, keeping the remaining outlets closed
so that distribution may be adjusted as required.
With the Multifuoco System® the KNOCKOUTS on the rear of the
stove must NOT BE REMOVED, otherwise the apertures must be
covered over with a metal plate sealed with silicone resistant to high
temperatures and fixed with self-drilling screws. (Figure 16 - 17)
Under no circumstances must collars and any knockouts on the
upper part of the stove (see figure 14) be obstructed in order to allow
proper operation of the Multifuoco System® and the regular outflow
of the warm air that stratifies inside the internal hood and comes out
the hood grilles.
For the size of the hood grille, see the “TECHNICAL DATA” paragraph
under “Minimum section of duct for convective air with open inlet
and outlet”.
DT2030263-00
Fig. 15
The warm air ducts must be in non-flammable, resilient and
if possible smooth material. To decrease heat loss the pipes
must be suitably lagged with insulating material.
For best installation of the Multifuoco System®, Piazzetta
supplies as optionals: Inlet/Outlet with closure; Wall
Inlet/Outlet with closure; Suction Inlet/Outlet with fan; Hose;
Y element; Connecting bend; Hose clamp. See the area
dealer for other available accessories.
DT2030264-00
Diffusion by natural convection
For the stove to work by natural convection the knockouts on the rear (Figure 16 - 17) must be opened during installation in order to allow
the warm air to flow upwards and out.
There must be apertures or grilles located underneath the grate (see figure 15) with “Minimum section of duct for convective air with open
inlet and outlet” that cannot be closed and are at least the size indicated in the “TECHNICAL DATA” paragraph.
A passage for air must be made in the top part of the surround so that the heat may flow out from the internal hood through the hood grilles.
For the hood grille size, see the “TECHNICAL DATA” paragraph.
The air may be ducted in this mode to adjacent rooms.
H07024510 / DT2000575 - Rev. 00
15
Fig. 16
English
Use the rear collars on the stove for warm air ductwork and
leave the front ones for normal outflow by natural convection
towards the hood grille. If all the collars are to be used for air
ductwork, a hood grille must be installed in any case for the
normal outflow of stratified warm air.

DESCRIPTION
THE APPLIANCE
The firebox is an excellent solution because of its core.
The firebox is made entirely in thick gauge steel. It comes ready for use without needing any laborious assembly work.
It ensures high heating efficiency, reduced consumption and safe use.
Heat is diffused by: radiation, conduction, natural convection or forced convection with application of the Multifuoco System, which is an
exclusive ventilation system for quickly and evenly distributing heat at floor level that has been created by the Piazzetta R&D Department.
All the firebox are fitted with a metal hood that wraps around and covers the firebox canopy and allows a greater recovery of heated air. By
connecting hoses to the holes on the metal hood, heated air may be distributed by natural convection also to adjacent rooms.
With the Multifuoco System, the air is taken up from the grille located on the canopy backplate, it enters the metal hood and upon passing
through special gaps is distributed by forced convection through the outlets located in the lower part of the cladding or distributed to adjacent
rooms through relative ducts. (See paragraph “METHODS OF HEAT DIFFUSION”).

DT2030516-00
Fig. 28
DT2030517-00
- Release the grate by unscrewing the wing nut (Fig. 29), remove the
wood shims and the metal section to be found under the grate and
then replace the grate.
- Where present, remove the polystyrene parts fixing the two smoke
baffle plates to the inside of the firebox.
- Fit the “Multifuoco System®” ventilation kit, if required, following
the sequence given in the respective instructions and refer to the
paragraph “METHODS OF HEAT DIFFUSION”.
Fig. 29
DT2030518-00
- Adjust the height of the grate, adjusting the feet of the hearth in
relation to the chosen surround and making the hearth level. The
firebox is provided with feet allowing the height of the grate to be
raised 25 cm above the ground (Fig. 30). If this height needs to be
increased, insert suitable shims.
- Fit the smoke damper (see “INSTALLATION OF SMOKE DAMPER”).
- Connect the firebox to the flue as indicated in “CONNECTION TO
THE FLUE”.
- Light for the first time and check that the firebox is working
properly (see “LIGHTING FOR THE FIRST TIME”).

4.0 INSTALLATION OF THE SMOKE DAMPER
English
The hearth is provided with a smoke damper with articulated rod
which aligns with the angle of inclination to which the damper is
being set. For installation purposes proceed as follows:
- Position the damper [2] in its seat and keep it in a vertical position.
- Insert the rod [1] fully into the damper [2]. During this operation,
the tongue [3] remains facing downwards. (Fig. 31)
- Proceed with the installation of the smoke outlet pipe and its
connection to the flue as indicated in the section with the same
name.
- Construct or finish the preparation of the lining and of the facing
wall.
- Insert the wooden plug provided into the box [4] and thread it onto
the rod [1].
- Then determine the exact position of the box which must follow
the angle of the facing wall. By moving the box with the plug, the
rod [1] remains as a guide and it will thus be possible to determine
the ideal position of the box, rod and facing wall.
- Cut off the rod [1] at 1 cm inside the outer face of the wall.
- Thread on the plate [5] and screw it to the box [4].
- Fit the handle [6], ensuring that the position of the damper
corresponds to that of the plate.
Fig. 31
DT2030520-00

If the facing wall is of fire resistant plasterboard (Fig. 33),
the box [4] is secured to the wall by screwing on the plate [5]
after turning up the side edges.

5.0 USE
DT2010055-02

DT2010043-00
FUEL
Use well-seasoned and dry wood with less than 20% moisture content.
Wood that is ready to burn must have been dried in the open air sheltered from rain or snow for at least 2 years after having been cut.
The lower the moisture content of the wood the higher its heating power. Freshly cut wood has 50% less heat value than dry wood.
Burning wood that is too wet means wasting most of the calories for evaporation of the water contained in it and, in particular, the walls of
the combustion chamber and the flue become fouled and encrusted thereby affecting efficiency.
The table below shows how the heating power decreases as the moisture content increases.

Mediocre or poor fuels
- Timber that is not recommended comes from the family of conifers,
willow, poplar and alder. These light soft woods are resinous and
therefore create more soot, few embers and incandescent sparks,
while requiring more frequent cleaning of the flue and the firebox.
- Another characteristic of softwood is that it gives a lively but shortlived flame and the consumption is higher for the same heat output.
3,0
W
HI
Good fuels
- Recommended timber comes from the family of broadleaf
hardwoods: beech, hornbeam, oak, false acacia, ash, birch,
maple, elm.
- All low-resin and close-grained woods (that is hard and heavy
timber) are most suitable, since they provide the stove with a
steady, continuous flame.
Heating Power (KW h/dm 3 w=20%)
It is a good rule to purchase timber during the summer (June-July), since woods are cut down mostly in the autumn and you can therefore
be sure that the timber has already been seasoned for approximately 1 year.
Firewood can be classified in two qualities: “good” and “mediocre or poor".
This classification is according to the heat yield of the wood, the longest flame time it provides, its composition and density.
Approximate value referred to ONE cubic decimetre of evenly shaped pieces of
wood with approx. 20% moisture content.
DT2010053-00
Unsuitable fuels
- Never use wet wood, tarred wood or pellets.
- It is also best not to use: refuse (rubbish), waste paper; paper briquettes; plywood or chipboard; fibreboard; packaging materials; painted
wood or wood coated with synthetic material, plastic laminates, cardboard or milk cartons.
Under no circumstances use liquid fuel of any kind whatsoever.
All these materials or similar ones could be hazardous for the user, damage the firebox, the flue connection and the flue, and, last
but not least, pollute the environment.
H07024510 / DT2000575 - Rev. 00

English
Certain basic facts can be all-important for best performance and getting the most out of your appliance. Please find below some basic
information intended to be of use with regard to the choice of firewood, the adjustment of the dampers and proper operation of the appliance.
During operation, some parts of the appliance (door, handle, dampers, surround) can reach high temperatures. Therefore exercise great
care and take all necessary precautions.
When you need to add wood to the firebox or to adjust the air flow, use the glove or the hand protector provided.
If the door of the product fails to close automatically, operation with the firebox open will only be possible with constant checking of the flame.
English
Log size
The size of the wood logs can also affect the efficiency of the product.
It is essential for the wood to be arranged on the grate on top of a
layer of embers.
The logs must not touch the aluker or the glass window nor must
they be put on top of each other. Place the wood as shown in the
figure 34.
We therefore recommend using logs of the following size:
- perimeter approx. 30/35 cm;
- lwength approx. 20–25–30 cm according to the type of hearth.
Fig. 34
Perimeter
Under no circumstances use liquid fuel of any kind
whatsoever.
All these materials or similar ones could be hazardous for the
user, damage the firebox, the flue connection and the flue,
and, last but not least, pollute the environment

COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION
The rated thermal efficiency is determined with the air damper. Pay
attention to the positions given in the table below according to the
fuels being used.
The positions given below refer to rated efficiency. Since efficiency
also depends on atmospheric and climatic conditions and therefore
on the draught, the most suitable position will be found with
experience.
Regulation is carried out as shown in figure.

DT2010045-03
LIGHTING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before lighting, remove the supplied accessories (see “ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT” paragraph) and flammable elements
from the grate or from the ash drawer and remove any elements of carriage used to protect any part of the stove.
If provided in the kit, it is very important to remove the paint spray can, which could explode.
There are two important stages when lighting the appliance for the first time: the operating test and start-up.
1.
Operating test
- Before carrying out the operating test, check that everything has been installed correctly (see section “GENERAL RULES”).
- Start with the lighting stage (see paragraph “LIGHTING”).
- The first load should be reduced by 50% of the normal recommended amount.
Should smoke come out:
• do not open the door of the stove;
• close the combustion air dampers (MINIMUM position) only on appliances with combustion air damper;
• let the fire go out slowly;
• open all doors and windows to ventilate the room;
• do not remain in the room or re-enter until you are sure it is safe to do so;
• check the cause of malfunctioning.
Do not extinguish the fire with water as this could damage the grate
2. Start-up
- During this first time of operation it is recommended to use the appliance at minimum capacity, stoking the grate for at least the first
day with only 50% of the logs usually indicated as normal.
- Keep the air dampers in the operating position (except for lighting), see paragraph “COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION”.
- This stage allows all the parts to settle down and fumes caused by paints/varnishes, greases or oily liquids used in manufacture to
disappear.
- Air the room well in this initial stage.
- This procedure must be carried out with the forced ventilation system turned off.
After this, the appliance will no longer emit odours due to paint evaporation and must only be stoked up with the indicated nominal amounts.

DT2010330-00
LIGHTING
When lighting the fire, the grate should be brought quickly to working
temperature. If it is done slowly, condensation will inevitably form
and cause blackening of the grate and the glass
Fig. 37
Fig. 38
- Put the air or smoke damper to the open position (MAXIMUM)
(see paragraphs “COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION” or “SMOKE
DAMPER REGULATION”). Fig. 37 Fig. 38
- Place the material for kindling (paper, firelighter, etc.) in the centre
of the grate and add small pieces of soft wood (fir) in the form of
DT2030064-00
DT2030065-00
a pyramid. To light the soft wood quickly, open the door by approx.
two centimetres for 5–10 minutes. Figure 38
- Once the bed of embers has been created, stoke-up with the recommended amounts of fuel. Keep the door closed except when adding more
fuel and adjust the combustion air or the smoke damper as instructed in the respective paragraphs “COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION” or
“SMOKE DAMPER REGULATION”.
5.6
DT2010046-00
OPENING THE DOOR
The door must remain closed while the stove is alight, otherwise it
could damage the inside of the stove. The door must be opened
slowly, holding it slightly ajar for a moment before opening it
completely. Open the door when the flame has died down and
certainly never when the flame is very intense.
Fig. 39

Put the fuel into the grate according to the methods described below:
Always use the hexagonal door handle tool provided.
Do not slam the door shut otherwise the glass could break.
DT2031080-00
5.7
DT2010047-00
NIGHT TIME OPERATION AT MINIMUM
After normal operation during the day, the appliance may continue to operate for a few hours at night.
When stoking up the fire for the last time in the evening, ensure that the bed of embers is sufficient, put the wood in the grate and then set
the combustion air dampers to minimum. Night time operation of the stove at minimum depends on the type of wood (a very hard wood is
recommended), the flue draught and the weather.
The amount of wood to put on and the necessary adjustment of combustion air flow will be learned with experience (see the paragraph
“COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION”).
The next morning, start up the fire at maximum to burn off any creosote formed during the night. Creosote deposits start to form when the
flue temperature falls to below 150 °C. To prevent this from happening it is important to try to maintain the grate of the appliance at normal
working temperature (rated heating efficiency phase) as long as possible.
Prolonged operation of the stove at minimum could require more frequent cleaning of the grate and the flue.
30
H07024510 / DT2000575 - Rev. 00
5.8
OPERATION UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
DT2010048-00
During the intermediate seasons with adverse weather conditions or when outdoor temperatures are higher, a sudden rise can cause
malfunctioning of the draught, thereby impeding proper smoke discharge. In this case the grate must be loaded with only a little wood and
the primary air damper be set fully open so that the wood burns faster and thereby stabilises the draught.
5.9
DT2010051-00
OVERHEATING AND EXTINGUISHING
English
In the event of overheating or if some appliance parts or the flue turn red:
- immediately stop the supply of fuel;
- do not open the stove door;
- close the air dampers (MINIMUM position);
The fire will go out due to lack of air.
When the appliance has cooled down, find the cause of the problem and if necessary call in specialised personnel.
In the event of fire, extinguish with a fire extinguisher.
Do not extinguish the fire with water.
Air the room well before using it again in order to get rid of any smoke and combustion gases.
H07024510 / DT2000575 - Rev. 00
31
DT2010111-02
6.0 MAINTENANCE
All maintenance work (cleaning, any replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the firebox is shutdown and cold.
Do not use materials that could scratch or damage the glass, since scratches could become cracks. Under no circumstances use abrasive
substances.
English
DT2010057-02
6.1
DT2010058-00
PERIODIC CHECKS
Check for any formation of creosote in the pipes connecting to the flue and inside the flue during the seasons when the appliance is in
operation, inspecting them at least once every two months.
The combustion of the wood (especially if moisture content is higher than 30%) produces pitch and other organic vapours that give rise to
creosote. The formation of creosote causes fouling, which obstructs the flue and the passage of smoke.
“Creosote” is inflammable and can catch fire, causing serious damage to both the flue and to the structure of the dwelling.
Only use recommended fuels (see “FUEL” paragraph).
If creosote has accumulated, it must be removed to reduce the risk of fire and to improve heat exchange.
The following must be free from obstruction and inspected at least once every two months:
- the flueways (connection to the flue, flue pipe, chimney stack);
- the fresh air intake;
- the appliance hearth (correct position of the plates, the ash tray, the grate and grid, deflectors, smoke dampers, etc);
- the ventilation system (apertures, air ducts, grilles) if installed.
Check that the automatic door closing system and the air dampers are in proper working order.
Maintenance of all the above heating system must be carried out at least once a year before the season when it will be used. We
also recommend periodically checking the whole heating system during the period of operation until the time when it will not be
used for several months.
6.2
DT2010059-03
CLEANING THE CERAMIC CLADDING
The ceramic cladding must first be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These
will remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.
Never soak the ceramic cladding or clean it with cold water when it is still hot as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.
6.3
DT2010060-00
CLEANING THE STEEL PARTS
The steel sections of the cladding should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth before applying any detergents. Afterwards it is recommended that
you use a degreasing agent such as acetone or vinegar diluted in water.
6.4
DT2010061-03
CLEANING THE PAINTED METAL PARTS
When cleaning the painted metal parts of the product use a soft cloth moistened with water
Never clean metallic parts using alcohol, solvents, petroleum-based products, acetones or other degreasing or abrasive substances.
In the event of such substances being used the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.
Discolouration of metallic parts may be the result of misuse.
32
H07024510 / DT2000575 - Rev. 00
6.5
DT2010700-00
CLEANING THE GLASS (DAILY)
If the appliance is very slow to heat up in the ignition phase due to fuel that isn’t completely dry, this is likely to cause a build-up of tar on
the glass. This will eventually burn off when the appliance is operating at full capacity. If the tar is left to build up over a long period it will
require more effort to remove. We therefore recommend that the glass be cleaned daily before lighting the stove.
The glass should be cleaned when cold using ammonia-based degreasing agents and not corrosive substances such as solvents.
Only for the purpose of cleaning the glass, the hinged-type door may
be opened using the door handle tool provided in the kit. Insert the
door handle tool into the relative hole in the door and turn to open
English
Do not use any material that could scratch or spoil the glass, as scratches may develop into cracks or breaks.
Fig. 40
In case of breakage
Every one of our hearths comes with a door fitted with a 4 mm thick
pyroceram panel resistant to thermal shock up to 750°C. This can
only be broken by heavy impact, such as banging the door too hard.
In the event of breakage replace with original Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A.
parts only.
Do not operate the appliance if the glass is broked or cracked.
Seal control
Proper tightness of the door seal is essential for optimal product
performance. It is therefore recommended that the seals be checked
periodically or after a long period of use for signs of wear or damage.
If necessary replace them using Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. original
spare parts.

The grate and the ash tray must be cleaned daily. Using the grate for a whole day contributes to the accumulation of ash or residual combustion
products. If cleaning is not done regularly there will be an excess of residues, which will affect appliance efficiency.
The ash tray also needs emptying regularly, because if it fills up and obstructs the grate grid it will cause appliance malfunction.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ash from natural (non-treated) wood burned in stoves or open fireboxes is composed mainly of calcium, silicon, potassium and magnesium
oxides. The ashes can therefore be used as a fertiliser for plants or in the garden, albeit not exceeding 2.6 kg per 10m2 annually.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container with a sealed cover. The sealed container should be placed on a non-combustible
surface at a safe distance from combustible materials until the cinders have been completely extinguished.
Only when they have been fully extinguished can the ashes be thrown away with organic waste, assuming that nails or other nonorganic material are not present.

CLEANING ALUKER®
The interior of the unit has been constructed from an innovative material called “Aluker”.
Aluker is based on substances that are completely non-toxic and is heat-resistant up to 1400°C.
In spite of its considerable strength it is not recommended that you throw large pieces of wood forcefully against the bricks.
Aluker darkens when the stove is first lit but returns to its natural colour gradually as the bricks warm up.
Some advice for optimum use of Aluker bricks:
- Don’t use water to put out the fire - leave the bricks to cool by themselves;
- Don’t scratch Aluker bricks with metal objects;
To clean Aluker bricks use an ordinary brush.

REMOVING THE SMOKE BAFFLE PLATES
The appliance is fitted with two smoke bafle plates, which are
designed to lengthen the path of the flue gas or smoke by increasing
the heat exchange surface area. The smoke baffle plates rest on
supports inside the fireboxes, as shown in figure 41-42.
Should it be necessary to replace the smoke baffle plates, unscrew
the hexagon nut (for the fireboxes 650HT and 655HT only) to be
found on the left part of the smoke baffle plates, push the smoke
baffle plates upwards, turn them downwards and remove them.

CLEANING THE FAN (ONCE A YEAR)
All cleaning and maintenance operations must be carried out after DISCONNECTION OF THE POWER.
Pursuant to current regulations on the safety of electrical equipment, you must contact a Piazzetta After-Sales Service Centre or a
qualified electrician for all and any work connected with installation, maintenance or servicing that involves access to electrical parts.
Dust can accumulate in the ventilation kit and in particular in the holes of the protective cover of the fan, the grilles and the fan blade, which
should therefore be cleaned once a year. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air, being careful with the electrical parts.
The ventilation kit must be disassembled for proper cleaning. Follow the installation procedure in the reverse order (see the instructions
enclosed in the kit).

DT2010068-00
SHUTTING DOWN
Before any long period during which the firebox will be inactive we recommend that you carry out a thorough cleaning, thereby avoiding
encrustations and oxidations which will be difficult to clean later. We also recommend that as a preventative measure you carry out a general
checkup as outlined in the paragraph headed “PERIODIC CHECKS”.
After a period of inactivity problems relating to the expansion of parts or the release of odorous gases may arise. We therefore recommend
that upon restarting the unit you do not immediately run it at full power. Nor should you activate the ventilation system until the odorous gases
have dispersed. This problem can be dealt with by simply airing the room.

CLOSING DOOR SYSTEM
This operation should be carried out by specialised personnel.
The “rise n’fall” door closing system must be checked periodically, at least once every two years; attention must be paid in particular to
lubricating the roller located inside the double glazing or, depending on the model, the pulleys located outside the double glazing.
